ACRU Policy Board Member Col. Allen B. West expresses ACRU’s support for Texas lawsuit demanding state legislative authority over election protocols be upheld
“The lawsuit filed by Texas against Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin is needed to protect the American electoral process from executive and judicial actions that usurp the constitutional powers of state legislators. ACRU encourages principled leaders across the country to join Texas in the fight against assaults on election integrity and the Constitution.”
Honestly conducted elections, with each American’s vote counting once, is the foundation of a nation whose Constitution begins “We the People…”
The government derives its legitimacy from free and fair elections and is bound by them. Vote fraud cuts at the very heart of American freedom. When an illegal vote is cast and counted, it cancels out the legal vote of a lawful citizen. (Watch the undercover videos).
In recent years, close elections and news of vote fraud have awakened Americans to the importance of protecting the integrity of the ballot box.

Obama’s Mandatory Voting Fantasy
There's nothing that excites someone to vote like being forced to do it. But federal force is one of President Obama's favorite things, so his recent announcement that mandatory voting might be a good idea is hardly a surprise. Normally, Americans have an aversion to being told what to do. Imagine if a president had proposed mandatory prayer for all Americans. Most previous presidents thought prayer was a good idea, so why not prayer for everybody -- by mandate? Mandatory voting is just as unappealing. After all, part of the right to vote we hear so much about also includes the right not to vote. Americans have the constitutional right to reject the political process, check out and not vote. In fact, one might argue electoral apathy is a sign of a nation's health. If things are going well enough, if people are content, then voting isn't a priority. Voting only rises in importance when the government manages to screw up people's lives enough to make voting important again. Deciding not to vote is still casting a ballot of a different kind. Or as Neil Peart put it in another context, "if you chose not to decide you still have made a choice."
WSJ Writer Rejects False Narrative on Voter ID Laws
George Evans, the mayor of Selma, Ala., steered clear of playing the race card in a recent interview, writes the Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley. In his opinion piece, Riley highlights the fact that Mayor George Evans did not give in to a National Public Radio interviewer's tactic of tying Selma's history dealing with race issues to today's race relations. "Ferguson, Mo., in 2015 is not Selma, Ala., in 1965. Black people in America today are much more likely to experience racial preferences than racial slights," Riley writes. "The violent crime that is driving the black incarceration rate spiked after the civil-rights victories of the 1960s, not before. And if voter-ID laws threaten the black franchise, no one seems to have told the black electorate. According to the Census Bureau, the black voter-turnout rate in 2012 exceeded the white turnout rate, even in states with the strictest voter-ID requirements."
Not-Great Scott in Florida
By John Fund Governor Rick Scott of Florida has doggedly pursued pro-growth policies that have helped make his state, which is the third-largest in the nation, a success story. I praised him as recently as last month for his inaugural address calling for further tax cuts and budget reform. But when Scott runs off the rails, he creates a real train wreck. In 2012, he infamously proposed expanding the state's Medicaid program to comply with Obamacare. He was rescued from that folly only by his Republican legislature, which knew that Washington couldn't be trusted with its end of the bargain. Now he has once again confounded his allies and emboldened his critics. This time, it's about his failure to block non-citizen voting.
MSNBC Misleads about Woman ‘Arrested for Voting’; It Was Perjury
In his February 9 story on MSNBC's The Reid Report, headlined "Counted Out," network correspondent Zachary Roth offered viewers a misleading look at the plight of an Iowa woman -- now suing the state for restoration of her voting rights -- who "had been charged with illegal voting." "For a lot of people, this sounds insane, the idea that this woman, that people would try to jail her for thinking she could vote again," anchor Joy-Ann Reid told Roth after the conclusion of his pre-taped segment. But in point of fact, the woman in question, a convicted drug offender named Kelli Jo Griffin, was prosecuted last March for committing perjury by virtue of allegedly lying about her voting disqualification on a voter registration form.
Wisconsin Is Ground Zero in Voter ID Fight
Wisconsin is not only an electoral battleground state, it is ground zero in the fight to ensure honest elections. Failing to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker in 2012 or to defeat him in the 2014 election, union-backed legal groups are continuing their efforts to try to make voter fraud easier to commit. Rebuffed by the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a petition at the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to overturn Wisconsin's Voter ID law. On Thursday, Attorney General Brad Schimel's communications director Anne E. Schwartz responded to an email, saying only that, "We will continue to defend the Wisconsin Voter ID Law." Enacted in 2011, Act 23 requires voters to show one of several forms of photo identification before voting. Wisconsin is one of 17 states that have added a voter ID law following the Supreme Court's upholding of Indiana's photo ID law in 2008. A total of 34 states now require some form of ID to vote, according to the ACLU's petition.
Grand Jury Recommends Charges Against Pa. Attorney General
A grand jury has recommended criminal charges against Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane. The grand jury found that she leaked secret grand jury information to a newspaper in an effort to smear political enemies. PJ Media has been covering Kane's refusal to prosecute Pennsylvania Democrats who took bribes in order to oppose photo voter identification legislation in Pennsylvania.
